"And by dropping $20 off the rear rows on the field level (to $100) and the advance price for the all-you-can-eat seats in right field (by $5 to $30) the Dodgers are able to say the new adjustments only increase the average ticket price by 75 cents. In all, prices went up on about 35% of seats."

Tickets to games against the Yankees are only available in packages.

That's okay, no one wants to see the Yankees play anyway. The Giants started dynamic ticket pricing last year, and it must have worked. Expect to hear nary a peep from Dodger fans as three million of them happily pay these new prices.

they did that at new Shea as well. They had tickets in categories along the lines of platinum (opening day, Yankees), gold (Dodgers, Phils, Cubs maybe), silver (the rest) and i think pewter (for mid-week Padres games)

For the record, I don't think this is "dynamic" pricing, in that the prices for a given game don't fluctuate by the hour (as the Giants reportedly do for their home games). This is a great increase in variable prices, but it's not dynamic.
